I've been considering possibly going with a superlative arms adjustable gas block I've read that they help with gassy suppressed guns
I put one on my 308 PA-10 from PSA. Before I modified it with a new barrel, heavy buffer, SA gas bleed off block and a better muzzle brake the gun recoil was literally painful. It felt like the buffer was slamming on the back of the buffer tube. I shot it four times and put it back in the case. After I put all that on the bleed of block was set at the factory to where it didn't have enough gas lock the bolt back. It took a good bit of adjustment to make that happen. Anyway my point is that it will greatly reduce gas pressure if need be. The good part of that particular block is the valve part is not exposed to the gas and won't fowl like a standard restrictive devise and it is completely serviceable. It also decreased the recoil to a amazing degree. I am putting one in my current build as well. Worth every dime.
Man those are some odd looking guns. Being that the barrel is lower than a traditional firearm does it manage muzzle rise and help balance when fired better since the majory of the backward force is in the palm? Does it really works like advertised?
I was interested in looking back at my answer. My 642 is still one of my favorites. If I had to answer right now I would say it’s between my 19 and 43. May focus on just these two awhile and see how it goes
